1983 Dan Smith Era Strat in rare candy apple red finish and in mint condition. All Original beside a replaced nut. This 1983 Dan Smith Era Stratocaster stands as a testament to the innovative period under Dan Smith’s leadership at Fender. Dan Smith served as the president of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation from 1981 to 1985, overseeing a pivotal era of change and revitalization for the iconic guitar brand. It has a master volume and master tone, with the output on the front side in place of where the tone pot usually is, which was one of the few innovations on these rare Dan smith strats. These guitars are known for their distinct features, including a smaller, more compact headstock, a six-point synchronized tremolo bridge, and a unique 4-bolt neck plate design. The black finish adds a touch of elegance to the instrument. Dan Smith’s contributions at Fender during this period revitalized the company’s reputation for producing high-quality guitars, and his influence is still felt in the legacy of instruments like the 1983 Dan Smith Era Stratocaster. Comes with original case

Absolutely gorgeous and very clean USA Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus Heritage Cherry Flametop from 2013. A superb top on this one . Gibson could have quite happily used these 2 slabs of maple for a ’59 custom shop historic (R9). The nitrocellulose finish is so thin on this you can see the ridges of the maple flame when angled towards light. It is a very easy guitar to play with a resonant body and nice easy action. It also has a comfortable neck siting somewhere between a ’59 and ’60 carve and it’s a good weight at 4.1kg. I’ve tried to catch the flame on it as best I can. The condition is breathtaking for a 12 year old Les Paul. There are no blemishes at all. the bridge is still covered in the original plastic. A pickguard was never fitted so no holes (no pickguard included). There are absolutely no breaks or repairs. The neck is dead straight, truss rod fine, and no fret wear. Comes complete with docs and original Gibson HSC, which is in also in great condition. A really nice Les Paul Standard in mint condition, and even better if you like them with highly figured flame!
